HDR Tone Mapping
Movie studios master movies in a much higher brightness (4000 NITS and above) and colour gamut than what a home cinema projector is capable of producing which is typically only around 150 NITS on screen. With a video processor, the movie is remastered in real-time using DTM (Dynamic Tone Mapping) technology to transpose or re-map the dynamic range of the movie to the maximum light output that your projector is capable of displaying, resulting in an image on screen that is far more dynamic, with richer colour and with more vivid detail than ever before.
Why Use a Lumagen Video Processor
Featuring heavily in all of our award-winning cinema rooms, a correctly installed and calibrated video processor can transform your home theatre’s image quality from good to incredible, adding a feature set to the projection chain that brings the image to life. When added to the system a video processor removes almost all of the heavy lifting from the projector, leaving it to act simply as a basic display device while the Lumagen handles the HDR tone-map, colourspace conversion, grayscale and colour calibration and aspect ratio control. If you are looking at a CinemaScope screen as an option for your home cinema, look no further than adding a Lumagen to your system to simplify and supercharge the process.
